GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK UK
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT
The Council of Management presents its report and the Financial Statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: ‘Accounting by Charities’ (SORP).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Global Leadership Network UK (“ GLN UK ”) is a registered charity and is a registered company limited by guarantee. The company is governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 17[th] May 1995.
GLN UK is an affiliate of Global Leadership Network (GLN US) based in South Barrington, IL, USA under the terms and conditions of the Willow Creek Association Affiliation Agreement dated 15[th] March 2000 (“the Affiliation Agreement”) .
Staffing
In accordance with the Affiliation Agreement, GLN UK is governed by The Council of Management (which is the Board of Directors for the purposes of company law and Board of Trustees for the purposes of Charity Law) consisting of a minimum of five members. Each member of the Council is a member of GLN UK or aligned with its purposes. Recruitment of new Council members is subject to election by The Council of Management. Induction and training of new Council members is undertaken by the Chairman of The Council of Management and the Chief Executive. Review of each Council member’s role and contribution is undertaken bi-annually by the Chairman and the Chief Executive. Review of the Chairman’s role and contribution is undertaken bi -annually by the GLN International Vice President.
The Council of Management is responsible for policy and strategic direction. The operational and staff management is the responsibility of the CEO, Roger Fairhead from 1 December 2020 and prior to this was the responsibility of Mike Hill. The day-to-day administration rests with Rachael Cottell who is also the Company Secretary (from 1 July 2020).
Volunteers play a vital role in fulfilling the company’s objectives and activities. The volunteer roles vary from administrative support in the GLN UK office to Event management at GLN UK conference venues.
Risk Management
The Council of Management continues to monitor activity on a regular basis using a range of management tools (a “Scorecard” identifying key performance areas is circulated each month and presented at The Council of Management meetings) to identify potential areas of risk. This is constantly reviewed and updated. GLN US, in addition to quarterly reports, requires quarterly budgets and annual goal setting.
The Risk Assessment Report covers the necessary contingencies.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The purpose of the company is the advancement of the Christian faith by the envisioning, encouraging, and equipping of church leaders. This is achieved by partnering with local churches to provide GLN leadership development training at conferences and seminars. In addition, it provides year-round training materials through membership subscriptions, Internet media and the sale of resources.

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK UK
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT
We have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular the Council of Management considers how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Training
Training provides an effective means through which GLN UK achieves its vision and mission. GLN UK has a strategic goal to provide quality conferences and seminars. Invariably this takes the form of at least one, and usually several major 1-day events which provide a high inspiration factor and fulfil the ‘envision, encourage, equip’ objective. In addition, GLN UK provides internet training programmes using video and audio resources from the live events.
The administration of the training is undertaken primarily by the GLN UK staff and also a team of volunteers who assist with the preparation of mail shots, signage, resources, packaging and other tasks entailed in the running of such big events.
In 2020, GLN UK set out to provide:
-
At least one major 1-day leadership video conferences online – attendance goal 3000
-
one major 2-day leadership conference, which took place in Chicago – complimentary online attendance only, no income realised
-
one major 5-day Church Leadership Intensive, which took place in Chicago – attendance 17 (Cancelled due to COVID)
Membership
To achieve the vision and mission, GLN UK provides a Membership service (referred to as a Partnership), with a range of benefits, delivered by staff focused on meeting their needs. The benefits include a complementary ticket to the Global Leadership Summit (“GLS”) videocast, access to online learning programmes, and a monthly mailing with a leadership audio resource. In addition, members receive regular email promotional offers on GLN resources and events as well as latest updates. In turn, members can inform GLN UK of their own notices e.g. job vacancies which are posted on our website and social media.
GLN UK members are contacted by the Communications and Marketing Manager to provide feedback and influence on strategic and operational matters.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
2019 had proved a challenging year for performance, which had ramifications for 2020, which were further exacerbate by the COVID Pandemic.
Training
In the UK a set of major 1-day events took place over multiple venues in the UK & Ireland.
-
GLS – October/November
-
The 1-day GLS online videocast events brought the top leadership sessions from the US Leadership Summit to the UK
-
Total attendance: 1625 from 2249 bookings
Membership
Membership increased from 116 members in 2019 to 2600 in 2020.

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK UK
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT
Resources
Resource sales were non-existent in 2020 due to the nature of the events, all being held online.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
The aim of The Council of Management is to keep in distributable reserves an amount equivalent to at least six months of operating expenses (in 2020 operating expenses including salaries, rent, office expenses and other overheads totalled £131,703). At 31 December 2020, the company had unrestricted funds available of £163,359 (2019: £254,657), which The Council of Management feels is satisfactory. The Council of Management will continue to review the level of reserves in the light of the Association ’ s ongoing plans and requirements.
Public Benefit
The company provides a number of free resources for public benefit. In addition, for a fee, extra resources are made available to individuals and the churches they represent. For low income individuals, GLN UK offers discretionary discounts on its membership, resources, and conference fees.
Results for the Year
The company had net outgoing resources of £91,298 for the year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: £46,713). A deficit of £8,341 before support costs arose from the various UK conferences run during the year as noted above.
No donations were received for the GLDF in 2020.
In 2008 The Council of Management agreed upon a policy of apportioning a tenth of the company’s surplus to third party organisations. Council members nominate the third party organisations such that they are consistent with the objects of the company and there are no conflicts of interest. At 31 December 2020, £11,118 remained to be apportioned. This represents a surplus from previous years less subsequent donations. A loss was made this year of £106,296 in unrestricted funds which means there will be no apportionment from 2020.
The balance sheet shows total net assets of £183,745 (201: £275,043), which are held for use by the company in furtherance of its objectives.
The Council of Management has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason The Council of Management continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements (See note 1 to the financial statements).
FUTURE PLANS
GLN UK plans to focus on its core activity of training the GLS. Membership will be maintained and GLS resources made available at events and online.
- Training:
The GLS is the principal thrust behind all our activity. GLN UK plans to provide in 2020:
- The GLS 1-day online and in person events, continuing with its desire to make the worldclass training of the Summit ‘annual, accessible and affordable’.
o Online learning on leadership.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT
The Council of Management Members’ Responsibilities
The members of The Council of Management are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the members of The Council of Management to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The members of The Council of Management are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small Company Provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPOR T
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out on pages 10 to 19.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income did not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a “true and fair” view and the r eport is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to:
-
indicate that accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
-
indicate that the financial statements do not accord with such records;
-
indicate that the financial statements fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102);
-
which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to gain a proper understanding of the financial statements.

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK UK
Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
1. Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102"), "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 ("the SORP"), the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
The Council of Management has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason The Council of Management continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
However, because the bulk of the charity's income tends to come during 'conference season' in Autumn of each year, if the 2021 conference season fails to generate sufficient income, then the Council of Management may need to take action to reduce the overheads of the organisation. To mitigate this risk GLN is working to promote a membership option in 2021 which offers year-round learning, and will seek to raise additional funds through donations. The Council of Management believes that a combination of memberships, additional donations and further reductions in overheads where necessary will provide the company with sufficient resources to meet its obligations for at least the next 12 months.
Funds structure
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for specific purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Incoming resources
Recognition of incoming resources
-
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Membership subscription income
This represents the apportionment of subscriptions appropriate to the year of account.
P a g e | 12
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK UK
Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
Contractual income and performance related grants
This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.
Gifts in kind
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated services and facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
Investment income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Expenditure
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
Governance costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories in proportion to the time spent by individual members of staff and with reference to the salaries of those staff.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling and recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Balances at the year-end denominated in a foreign currency are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net incoming resources.
Redundancy or termination payments
Redundancy or termination payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the financial period in which the redundancy takes place.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Expenditure on fixed assets costing over £500 is capitalised at cost and depreciated over the anticipated useful life of the assets as follows:
Office Equipment: - over a period of three years on a straight line basis.
Computer Systems: - over a period of three years on a straight line basis.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolescence.
Debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
P a g e | 13
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP NETWORK UK
Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020
Debtors continued
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the lease on a straight line basis.
Pension scheme
The Charity operates a money purchase pension scheme. Pension costs are charged to the SoFA in the financial period in which they are incurred.
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measure at amortised cost using the effective interest method .
